In This Class

In this class, rules help us learn,
So I’ll raise my hand and wait my turn!
In this class, I will say I can’t do it YET,
Because I have a growth mindset!
We know there are different ways to be smart,
Some are good at math, music, writing, or art.
In this class, teams get things done,
We are smarter together (and, it’s more fun!)
In this class, we really care,
About each other and the world we share.
In this class, we will grow and get better,
And we are ready for the best year ever!

Draw a picture of one way you will help your class learn this year.

your best, you will get better.” So, Anna thought about ways she could
practice. She started writing every day. She asked a friend to help her. She
even wrote at home! At first, it was still hard. Anna thought, “I want to give
up. Writing is just too hard!” But, she kept trying. And do you know what?
Anna got better. At the end of the year, she was the best writer in her class.
